WASHINGTON LETTER
By WILLIAM R. THOM
Congressman From This District
Facts About Muskingum Watershed
Project and The .Man In Charge. Most
of S35,000-,000 Would Bi' Spent Within
Conservancy District.
Washington, March 14—Just as
soon as Uucle Sam signs the bulky
contract for the improvement of the
Muskingum Watershed- Conservancy
district, a modest West Point graduate, Major J. D. Arthur, Jr., will bid
goodbye lo his office in the War department building's in Washington and
transfer to Ohio, to lake personal
command of this vast effort to control the flood waters in 16 Ohio counties, involving the expenditure of $35
000,000. He will stick on the job until
the last tap of work is done and, unless tilings go awry, lie stands to win
national renown by successfully executing the work of this vast project.
Arthur was in France for nine
months during the World War commanding- the 605th Engineers, occupied chiefly with road construction.
Since the World War lie has attended
the general army staff school at Fort
Leavenworth; has been located in the
engineers' school at Fort Humphries,
outside of Washington, D. C; has
served as instructor in civil engineering at West Point; as assistant district engineer al Los Angles; and for
the last four years as district engineer at Washington, I). C.
Up to date the territory of the
Muskingum Conservancy district is
embraced within the Huntington, W.
Va., district of the United States engineers, in charge al present of Major
Fred Hermann. As soon, however, as
the Public Works contract is signed
the 16 Ohio counties in the conservancy district will be divorced from
the Huntington district, ami will be
organized as a separate engineering-
district in command of Major Arthur.
This change in territory will be ordered by Chief of U- S. Engineers
Markham.
When I interviewed Major Arthur
at his office in Washington, he expressed a desire to be helpful in having- Ohioans fully understand the program he is about to undertake. He had
just been reading the testimony of
objectors before the joint court at
New Philadelphia, and he was eager
to meet the criticism of property
owners that they ought not to bcar
any of the cost of this undertaking.
"II was urged," he said, "that by
rcason of the fact that important flood
control work in tile past has been
undertaken in the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, at the sole cost of the
United Stales government, the people
living in the Muskingum district
should be similarly tivuiL-.'.. However,
it is overlooked that these rivers are
navigable and therefore within the
control of the United States government and, furthermore that their waters affect vast areas covering a number of states. Therefore this would
take on the color of a national undertaking. The Muskingum district, on
the other hand, all lies within one
state. The chief reason for the acceptance of this project lies in the fact
that it supplements, and in a sense
ties in with, the Mississippi river flood
control program, and therefore the
federal government felt that il ought
to help foot the bill. That is why
this particular project won the approval of the P. W. A. as against
other Hood control projects at Pittsburgh, in the Arkansas and Red river
districts, and in other parts of the
country.
"I should particularly like to point
out that the vast expenditure in the
Miami conservancy district in Ohio,
after the Dayton flood, was shouldered, so far as finances are concerned,
without a cent of federal help, although the control of waters in that
district substantially relieved the
pressure on the Ohio river basin. The
Miami district got busy 20 years too
early, one might say, to participate in
federal aid. So it is easy to see that
the Muskingum district taxpayers are
to be let off easy compared with those
of the Miami district."
Looking at the project from another angle, Major Arthur says it
means a boom in a business way for
the 16 Ohio counties, for little of the
S35,000,000 involved will be spent outside of the boundries of the conservancy district. Furthermore, tiie bulk
of the money will go direct lo labor
in the form of wages, as the dams
will be of earth, involving a very
limited expenditure for cement and
other materials for spillways and outlets. The N. R. A. policy of using
labor in preference to machinery will
he used as a means of absorbing unemployment. The work will be done
by contract or by force account,
whichever is cheaper.
The first task will be to let contracts for foundation borings for 15
proposed dams. This will cost something like $60,000. Also, the present
force of 15 surveying parties, consisting of ten engineers in eacli corps,
will be expanded by thc addition of
draftsmen and other technical men, so
that a force of 500 men will be used
in the next six months in planning.
These extra men will come from private life, chosen entirely from within
the coiiseivaney district, and probably:
in the main selected as the result ofj
competitive examinations. Inquiries
for employment up to date have con-j
vineed Major Aithur that the district;
will supply the nocssary uu-n in prac-!
tie-illy all fields of activity. '
As The Sun Sees If
Without Prejudice
Two Captious Critics
THE Jefferson Gazette and Ashtabula
County Sentinel is flooding Ohio
with copies of the issue, of March
2 in which the first year of President
Roosevelt's administration is lcview-
ed by E. C. Lampson, editor of the
paper. Nine columns are filled by him
to point out that the Constitution of
the United Stales is in grave danger
from vandals, and to back up his argument he quotes John W. Davis' attack on the President's New Deal.
The able editor of the Gazelle-
Sentinel shudders when he describes
the terrible things the Administration
is doing to the Constitution, lint he is
at his best when he mounts the soap
box and fires this terrific broadside:
"Facism, grasping the excuse
of economic emergency, lays its
deadly hand upon America. Inept
social planners suspend the essential liberties of the people!
Political sophistry proclaims a
Revolution! Demagogs make fantastic lures to the unfortunate
and promise the envious to redistribute national wealth to a
common level."
On and on he thunders in denunciation of the National Administration
and both Houses of Congress until
in a burst of eloquence he summons
"Patriots everywhere to join in a common defense of our rights as individualists."
That kind of stuff was considered
"fine political writing" in the Jefferson Gazette in 1876, but it is twaddle
in 1934. As an educated man Editor
Lampson knows he is in bad company
when he raises the cry of "patriotism"
to bolster an attack of a purely political nature. Old Dr. Samuel Johnson is our authority for that statement.
The Sun advises the editor of the
Gazette-Sentinel to do a little traveling in Ohio. He will learn two things:
That the people are losing no sleep
over "Facism laying its deadly hand
upon America," and that Roosevelt
has more admirers in March, 1934,
than he had in November, 19,'i'J.
TF HE is in doubt concerning the ac-
1 curacy of the above statemenl we
refer him to the action of Cleveland's City Council on Monday night,
March 13, in unanimously passing a
resolution praising President Roosevelt for his
"Superlative ability during his
first year in the White House. .
one of the most eventful of
years; one replete with remedial
and efficacious accomplishments,
which have been of material benefit to all of the people, that has
ever been recorded in the pages of
the history of this country."
The author of the resolution, Thomas F. McCafferty, is a stalwart Republican and it was passed 30 to 0.
The City Council, it may interest him
to know, is controlled by Republicans.
The Sun merely quotes this to show
that the day of the bigot in political
affairs is passing in Ohio. And it will
be a happy day for America when it;
citizens recognize a man's achievements in public life without asking,
"What's his politics?''
on Broadway John W. Davis has been
a shiver and shake barker for Morgan's Financial Circus.
THERE is nothing new in the cry
"Save the Constitution." That old
gag has been sprung so often by
"smug gentlemen of easy conscience"
that we are surprised a man of Davis'
ability adopts it. Chief Justice
Hughes and a majority of the Justices
on the Supreme Court have been
handing down decisions in support of
the New Deal, thus proving that the
Constitution is safe in the hands of
President Roosevelt, but when it is
waved by men calling themselves it:,
defenders it becomes merely a'political banner to mislead the iinn-lMilking
part of the population.

A READER of The Sun writ, s: "I

President of the United Stales
never made a mistake. 1 don't be

We agree with you. To blunder
as pupils in life's school is merely
! to be human. But to rise above our
! blunders ami to make the best of what
remains to us of lime and opportunity,
! is human, too. For thai is a cour-

Blood Lust Plus Fear
THE upheavals in Europe are not
surprising. They are the direct
outcome of blood lust and fear.
Governments now in power are in
deadly fear of another general war,
involving practically the entire earth.
Such a war would bo so devastating
even civilization would he in danger
of destruction.
The terrible lessons of the last war
have taught them nothing. They are
not even remembered. The desire for
power and the greed for wealth are
alone in the saddle, with the reins in
tbe hands of men who will not hesitate to sacrifice human life in order
to gain their cherished ends.
No matter what statesmen of one
country may say, those of other countries do not believe thorn. Confidence
between nations is utterly lacking.
Even national honor itself is rapidly
disappearing. And when nations reach
that degrading' point they are on a
level with dogs fighting over a juicy
bone.
That is the situation in Europe. Fi w
people in the world have any faith
in stemming the torrent of destruction
that is on the way. The human mind
is preparing itseif for the woist.
If and when the explosion comes,
where will this country he—what will
we do '.'

JOHN W. DAVIS, nominee for the
Presidency in 1924 on the Democratic ticket, is decidedly amusing when he gives an imitation of
a man suffering with chills and fever.
As chief attorney for the House oi
Morgan he is expected to shuddei
every time the name of President
Roosevelt is mentioned in public. In
private Mr. Davis is not perturbed.
As an intelligent lawyer he knows
the nation is nol waybilled for hell
by fast freight. He knows, too, that

do not take seriously the "shudder

his paymasters in Wall Street. From

"The chamber of commerce idea is
hundreds of years old," stated Dallas
Hostetler, assistant manager of the
Canton Chamber of Commerce, in his
address before the Noith Canton Rotary club on Thursday evening.
The occasion was "Chamber of Commerce" night in keeping with the program of Rotary International and the
program committee is to be congratulated upon securing such an able
speaker to present the subject.
Dallas, as he is known hy almost
all business and professional men in
the county, was very glowing in his
compliments to the citizens of North
Canton for this fine community with
its excellent schools, churches and
community spirit of helpfulness.
He state.] that North Canton has
a chamber of commerce though it may
not be known by that name, for no
city or village can be so public spirited without the idea embodied in such
an organization. [
"There is manifest evidence that
North Canton has collective action for ■
the community benefit to protect an.l ,
promote the welfare of its citizens. •
A chamber of commerce serves as the
clearing house for business, profes-1
sional, industrial and civic life."
At the close of the address much j
suggestive and helpful literature re-;
E a critic, if you must, but oiler
something better than that which
you criticise.--Half way between
the wisdom of age and the exuberance
of youth is common horse sense.—
Many men are down and out because
they haven't ambition enough lo be
up and in.—Better prices are making
the farmers feel belter—also their
creditors.—Strutting is excusable
when a fellow has just paid his taxes.
—Self importance punctures many a
human balloon.—Some mm aie solillle
they consider themselves bigger than
Ihe law.—A Court is a place of justice where justice is .sometimes onh
a name.—Wo forget to mention that
Sam Insull is still safe in Greece.—
Brush trouble out of your way. Sidestepping is just an invitation for it
lo follow- you.
garding the work and activity of the
Canton Chamber of Commerc was
distributed by the speaker.
Jerome Kolp and Ray Lappin, high
school seniors, were again welcome
guests of the club.
President Harpold reminded the Rotarians that the club is now in the
attendance contest with three other
clubs of the county and he urged
every member to attend every meeting for the next eight weeks, or else
make up his attendance at one of the
other clubs nearby.
,-\Ve must maintain the high honor
of our community by winning this
contest," weie his closing words. A
\t)0r't attendance is looked for on
Thursday.
NO TAX TIME EXTENSION
The Tax Commission, prior lo the
current year, by virtue of emergency
enactments, had authority to grant
general extensions of time for the;
filing of personal property tax returns, j
These emergency laws have now ex-1
pired and are no longer in force and
elfect. There will therefore, necessarily, be no general extensions of
timo granted for the filing of such
returns in 1934.

Churches of Christ, Scientist
"Substance" is the subject of the
lesson-sermon which will be read in
all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday, March IN.
The Golden Text is: "Behold, God
is my salvation; I will trust, and not
be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is
my strength and my song; he also is
become my salvation." (Tsa. l--'^).
Among the citations which comprise
the lesson-sermon is the following
from the Bible: "Now faith is the
substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen." (TIeb.
11:1).
'i'he lesson-sermon also includes the
following passage from the Christian
Science textbook, "Science anil Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
Baker Eddy: "When we come to have
more faith in the ti nth of being than
we have in error, more faith in Spirit
than in matter, more' faith in living
than in dying, more faith in God than
in man, then no material suppositious
can prevent us from healing the sick
and destroying error." (p. 36N).

WASHINGTON LETTER
By WILLIAM R. THOM
Congressman From This District
Facts About Muskingum Watershed
Project and The .Man In Charge. Most
of S35,000-,000 Would Bi' Spent Within
Conservancy District.
Washington, March 14—Just as
soon as Uucle Sam signs the bulky
contract for the improvement of the
Muskingum Watershed- Conservancy
district, a modest West Point graduate, Major J. D. Arthur, Jr., will bid
goodbye lo his office in the War department building's in Washington and
transfer to Ohio, to lake personal
command of this vast effort to control the flood waters in 16 Ohio counties, involving the expenditure of $35
000,000. He will stick on the job until
the last tap of work is done and, unless tilings go awry, lie stands to win
national renown by successfully executing the work of this vast project.
Arthur was in France for nine
months during the World War commanding- the 605th Engineers, occupied chiefly with road construction.
Since the World War lie has attended
the general army staff school at Fort
Leavenworth; has been located in the
engineers' school at Fort Humphries,
outside of Washington, D. C; has
served as instructor in civil engineering at West Point; as assistant district engineer al Los Angles; and for
the last four years as district engineer at Washington, I). C.
Up to date the territory of the
Muskingum Conservancy district is
embraced within the Huntington, W.
Va., district of the United States engineers, in charge al present of Major
Fred Hermann. As soon, however, as
the Public Works contract is signed
the 16 Ohio counties in the conservancy district will be divorced from
the Huntington district, ami will be
organized as a separate engineering-
district in command of Major Arthur.
This change in territory will be ordered by Chief of U- S. Engineers
Markham.
When I interviewed Major Arthur
at his office in Washington, he expressed a desire to be helpful in having- Ohioans fully understand the program he is about to undertake. He had
just been reading the testimony of
objectors before the joint court at
New Philadelphia, and he was eager
to meet the criticism of property
owners that they ought not to bcar
any of the cost of this undertaking.
"II was urged," he said, "that by
rcason of the fact that important flood
control work in tile past has been
undertaken in the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, at the sole cost of the
United Stales government, the people
living in the Muskingum district
should be similarly tivuiL-.'.. However,
it is overlooked that these rivers are
navigable and therefore within the
control of the United States government and, furthermore that their waters affect vast areas covering a number of states. Therefore this would
take on the color of a national undertaking. The Muskingum district, on
the other hand, all lies within one
state. The chief reason for the acceptance of this project lies in the fact
that it supplements, and in a sense
ties in with, the Mississippi river flood
control program, and therefore the
federal government felt that il ought
to help foot the bill. That is why
this particular project won the approval of the P. W. A. as against
other Hood control projects at Pittsburgh, in the Arkansas and Red river
districts, and in other parts of the
country.
"I should particularly like to point
out that the vast expenditure in the
Miami conservancy district in Ohio,
after the Dayton flood, was shouldered, so far as finances are concerned,
without a cent of federal help, although the control of waters in that
district substantially relieved the
pressure on the Ohio river basin. The
Miami district got busy 20 years too
early, one might say, to participate in
federal aid. So it is easy to see that
the Muskingum district taxpayers are
to be let off easy compared with those
of the Miami district."
Looking at the project from another angle, Major Arthur says it
means a boom in a business way for
the 16 Ohio counties, for little of the
S35,000,000 involved will be spent outside of the boundries of the conservancy district. Furthermore, tiie bulk
of the money will go direct lo labor
in the form of wages, as the dams
will be of earth, involving a very
limited expenditure for cement and
other materials for spillways and outlets. The N. R. A. policy of using
labor in preference to machinery will
he used as a means of absorbing unemployment. The work will be done
by contract or by force account,
whichever is cheaper.
The first task will be to let contracts for foundation borings for 15
proposed dams. This will cost something like $60,000. Also, the present
force of 15 surveying parties, consisting of ten engineers in eacli corps,
will be expanded by thc addition of
draftsmen and other technical men, so
that a force of 500 men will be used
in the next six months in planning.
These extra men will come from private life, chosen entirely from within
the coiiseivaney district, and probably:
in the main selected as the result ofj
competitive examinations. Inquiries
for employment up to date have con-j
vineed Major Aithur that the district;
will supply the nocssary uu-n in prac-!
tie-illy all fields of activity. '
As The Sun Sees If
Without Prejudice
Two Captious Critics
THE Jefferson Gazette and Ashtabula
County Sentinel is flooding Ohio
with copies of the issue, of March
2 in which the first year of President
Roosevelt's administration is lcview-
ed by E. C. Lampson, editor of the
paper. Nine columns are filled by him
to point out that the Constitution of
the United Stales is in grave danger
from vandals, and to back up his argument he quotes John W. Davis' attack on the President's New Deal.
The able editor of the Gazelle-
Sentinel shudders when he describes
the terrible things the Administration
is doing to the Constitution, lint he is
at his best when he mounts the soap
box and fires this terrific broadside:
"Facism, grasping the excuse
of economic emergency, lays its
deadly hand upon America. Inept
social planners suspend the essential liberties of the people!
Political sophistry proclaims a
Revolution! Demagogs make fantastic lures to the unfortunate
and promise the envious to redistribute national wealth to a
common level."
On and on he thunders in denunciation of the National Administration
and both Houses of Congress until
in a burst of eloquence he summons
"Patriots everywhere to join in a common defense of our rights as individualists."
That kind of stuff was considered
"fine political writing" in the Jefferson Gazette in 1876, but it is twaddle
in 1934. As an educated man Editor
Lampson knows he is in bad company
when he raises the cry of "patriotism"
to bolster an attack of a purely political nature. Old Dr. Samuel Johnson is our authority for that statement.
The Sun advises the editor of the
Gazette-Sentinel to do a little traveling in Ohio. He will learn two things:
That the people are losing no sleep
over "Facism laying its deadly hand
upon America," and that Roosevelt
has more admirers in March, 1934,
than he had in November, 19,'i'J.
TF HE is in doubt concerning the ac-
1 curacy of the above statemenl we
refer him to the action of Cleveland's City Council on Monday night,
March 13, in unanimously passing a
resolution praising President Roosevelt for his
"Superlative ability during his
first year in the White House. .
one of the most eventful of
years; one replete with remedial
and efficacious accomplishments,
which have been of material benefit to all of the people, that has
ever been recorded in the pages of
the history of this country."
The author of the resolution, Thomas F. McCafferty, is a stalwart Republican and it was passed 30 to 0.
The City Council, it may interest him
to know, is controlled by Republicans.
The Sun merely quotes this to show
that the day of the bigot in political
affairs is passing in Ohio. And it will
be a happy day for America when it;
citizens recognize a man's achievements in public life without asking,
"What's his politics?''
on Broadway John W. Davis has been
a shiver and shake barker for Morgan's Financial Circus.
THERE is nothing new in the cry
"Save the Constitution." That old
gag has been sprung so often by
"smug gentlemen of easy conscience"
that we are surprised a man of Davis'
ability adopts it. Chief Justice
Hughes and a majority of the Justices
on the Supreme Court have been
handing down decisions in support of
the New Deal, thus proving that the
Constitution is safe in the hands of
President Roosevelt, but when it is
waved by men calling themselves it:,
defenders it becomes merely a'political banner to mislead the iinn-lMilking
part of the population.

Blood Lust Plus Fear
THE upheavals in Europe are not
surprising. They are the direct
outcome of blood lust and fear.
Governments now in power are in
deadly fear of another general war,
involving practically the entire earth.
Such a war would bo so devastating
even civilization would he in danger
of destruction.
The terrible lessons of the last war
have taught them nothing. They are
not even remembered. The desire for
power and the greed for wealth are
alone in the saddle, with the reins in
tbe hands of men who will not hesitate to sacrifice human life in order
to gain their cherished ends.
No matter what statesmen of one
country may say, those of other countries do not believe thorn. Confidence
between nations is utterly lacking.
Even national honor itself is rapidly
disappearing. And when nations reach
that degrading' point they are on a
level with dogs fighting over a juicy
bone.
That is the situation in Europe. Fi w
people in the world have any faith
in stemming the torrent of destruction
that is on the way. The human mind
is preparing itseif for the woist.
If and when the explosion comes,
where will this country he—what will
we do '.'

"The chamber of commerce idea is
hundreds of years old," stated Dallas
Hostetler, assistant manager of the
Canton Chamber of Commerce, in his
address before the Noith Canton Rotary club on Thursday evening.
The occasion was "Chamber of Commerce" night in keeping with the program of Rotary International and the
program committee is to be congratulated upon securing such an able
speaker to present the subject.
Dallas, as he is known hy almost
all business and professional men in
the county, was very glowing in his
compliments to the citizens of North
Canton for this fine community with
its excellent schools, churches and
community spirit of helpfulness.
He state.] that North Canton has
a chamber of commerce though it may
not be known by that name, for no
city or village can be so public spirited without the idea embodied in such
an organization. [
"There is manifest evidence that
North Canton has collective action for ■
the community benefit to protect an.l ,
promote the welfare of its citizens. •
A chamber of commerce serves as the
clearing house for business, profes-1
sional, industrial and civic life."
